  • In terms of electrical safety, environmental impact assessment and revision of domestic regulation are needed for the electric facilities. In this paper, risk of electric facilities is assessed by the spot measures and analysis in dust generation area. Adhesion dust in a surface of insulated materials cause electrical accidents. In a mechanism of these accidents, when the dust lie on electric facilities, a leakage current is flowed and the surface of insulated material is carbonized. Hereafter, electrical fire is generated due to Joule's heat. As the results, dusts are found in protection devices or panel board and sampled dusts vary in sampled amounts and conductivity severally. For the most part, sodium is detected but zinc and calcium are detected in case of reclaimed rubber factory by the ICP-AES(Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectroscopy). In a sewerage, the ingredients such as sodium, magnesium, iron, calcium, aluminium, etc are detected uniformly. So that, results of the spot measures and analysis of dusts are become the important data for the assessment of electrical hazard in dust generation area.

  • We conducted a nationalwide questionnaire to investigate accidental experiences and injuries at flashover or flame-fire for active firefighters in the line of duty. A total of 794 firefighters participated in this survey (764 males, 27 females, and 3 respondents; $39.2{\pm}8.4yr$ in age, $173.7{\pm}5.1cm$ in height, $73.4{\pm}8.6kg$ in body mass). The results showed that high risk circumstances the most frequently experienced while firefighting in Korea was flashover followed by backdraft, rollover and flameover. At the high risk circumstances the most frequently-experienced injuries were bruise, stabs and burns. Firefighters hoped to reduce the total mass of personal protective equipment (PPE), improve the mobility of the PPE and dexterity of protective gloves, so that they could escape from the high risk circumstances as fast as possible. In particular, requirements for improvement on protective gloves were greater than those on other PPE. The present study suggested that the need for improvements on the current firefighters' PPE to cope with emergency high risk situations in terms of PPE mass reduction and mobility.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the characteristics of animal carcasses treatment and quarantine management of infectious diseases of livestock, and to present the effectiveness of quarantine and follow-up management of livestock infectious diseases. Method: Actually, a livestock epidemic occurred and the burial site and burial management facility that treated livestock carcasses were visited on-site to analyze the management status and problems. Result: The burial method of livestock outbreaks of livestock infectious diseases and the long-term follow-up management accordingly requires a large amount of manpower and budget to be spent. For example, it can be seen that it is an inefficient quarantine system. Conclusion: It is necessary to review plans for the establishment of integrated livestock infectious animal carcasses treatment facilities at the level of metropolitan cities, districts, and municipalities with the government, where there is no fear of secondary infectious disease transmission and no follow-up management is required.

  • In this study, hazards of decomposition and explosion for tert-butylperoxymaleate(TBPM), an organic peroxide, were evaluated by using various equipment to determine the cause of a fire explosion accident. As a result of DSC analysis, the instantaneous power density of TBPM was 26,401 kW/ml, and the NFPA reactive index(Nr) was classified as 4. And the positive value of EP(explosive propagation) and SS(shock sensitivity) showed that the TBPM had a potential hazard of explosion. From the experimental results, the shock sensitivity and friction sensitivity was rated as class 4 and 5, respectively. In the pressure vessel test, TBPM was ranked USA-PVT No.4 and evaluated as a self-reactive substance. In the combustion rate test, TBPM had the combustion rate of 167 mm/sec and was evaluated as the flammable solid classification 2 in GHS.

  • The aim of this study is a large amount use of recycled aggregates. The considering recycled aggregates replacement ratio is 50% that of natural aggregates. In order to increase the shear capacity of beams, that may be weaken by use of recycled aggregates, steel fibers are reinforced. The main variables are steel fiber volume fractions such as 0%, 0.5%, 0.75% and 1.0%. After the test, it could confirm that the strength and deformation capacity of beams with the steel fiber content values of 0.5% and 0.75% are comprehensively enhanced compared to non reinforcement. After evaluating the shear strength by using shear strength equations of previous researches, it concluded that the strength equation of Oh et al. (2008) is able to predict the shear strength of SFRC beams on the safety side.

  • The physiochemical properties of Rhododendron mucronulatum pollens were examined after the use of various extraction conditions. The levels of phenolic compounds and electron donating abilities (DPPH) were better after 80% (v/v) ethanol extraction than after water extraction. The content of phenolic compounds and the DPPH were high when the solvent ratio was 20X. The content of phenolic compounds was highest at $45^{\circ}C$ (347.60 mg/100 g). The DPPH was highest, at 67.93%, when extraction was performed at $25^{\circ}C$. An extraction time of 6 hr yielded the highest content of phenolic compounds (312.63 mg/100 g). The DPPH did not vary with extraction time. Both the levels of phenolic compounds and DPPH values rose when extractions were performed twice. In summary, a solvent ratio of 20X, an extraction temperature of $25-45^{\circ}C$, double extraction and an extraction time of 6 hare optimal for extraction, with maximal DPPH and phenolic content, of Jindalrae pollens.

  • The purpose of this study is to propose a method for protecting injector face for prolonged combustion time and heat flux measurement technique at the injector face. To obtain basic design data and verify the performance of the proposed method, a regenerative cooling injector face was designed and manufactured for the hot firing test. Due to the safety reason, hot fire test were performed 3, 10, 30, 60 and 120 seconds time step. The discrepancy between analytical results adapting to combustion and nozzle and experimental results is believed due to the over estimation of the convection heat transfer calculation. for the injector face, flow velocity is almost negligible, therefore radiation is more important than convection. Consecutive hot firing test during 10, 30, 60 and 120 seconds combustion time shows good repeatability.

  • The objective of this study is to assess risks which might occur in connection with the storage of the highly compressed air in underground opening. Risk factors were selected throughout literature survey and analysis for the characteristic of CAES. Large risk factors were categorized in three components; planning and design phase, construction phase, and operation & maintenance phases. Large category was composed of 8 medium risk groups and 24 sub-risks. AHP technique was applied in order to analyze the questionnaires answered by experts and high-risk factors were selected by evaluating the relative importance of risks. AHP analysis showed that the operation & maintenance phases are the highest risk group among three components of large category and the highest risk group of eight medium risk groups is risk associated with the quality and safety. Risk having the highest risk level in 24 sub-risks is evaluated to be a failure of tightness security of inner containment storing compressed air.

  • The flash point is used to categorize inflammable liquids according to their relative flammability. The flash point is important for the safe handling, storage, and transportation of inflammable liquids. The flash point temperature of two binary liquid mixtures($CCl_4+o-xylene$ and $CCl_4+p-xylene$) has been measured for the entire concentration range using Tag open cup tester. The flash point temperature was estimated using Raoult's law, UNIQUAC model and empirical equation. The experimentally derived flash point was also compared with the predicted flash point. The empirical equation is able to estimate the flash point fairly well for $CCl_4+o-xylene$ and $CCl_4+p-xylene$ mixture.
